Sung Sam Park was born in 1949 in Seul, Korea
where he began painting at the age of twelve. His
talent and teaching abilities were quickly
recognized and by the age of thirteen, while
still a junior high school student, Park taught
painting at the local high school
Early on, Park attracted the attention of
prominent artists and heads of state. Byen
Si-Jin, former university president of Jo-Joo
Island, was his private art teacher and mentor.
The former president of South Korea, Yoon Bo-Sun,
personally awarded him many First Places in the
national competitions of the Mok-Woo Art Society.
Park is still the youngest person ever to have
competed in these competitions. After graduating
from Jung Ang University in 1973, Park traveled
to France, where he studied painting and lived
with other young artists in Paris. His artistic
style today clearly reflects the inspiration of
the French Impressionists.

Sam Park returned to Korea briefly in 1984 to
participate in the national Olympic - sponsored
art competition for the upcoming 1988 Seoul
Olympic Games. With more than two thousand
entrants in the competition, park won and
received a Gold Medal. Following the Olympics,
Park's painting was purchased by the Hyundai
Corporation for permanent display at their
corporate headquarters. In 1986, Park became a
member of the jury of Heart and Mind Artists
Association of Korea, which is the organization
that assesses all artwork presented for juried
competition in that nation. Park then returned
to Europe, where he lived for the next fourteen
years, primarily in France, but also in Greece
and on Cyprus. While living on Cyprus, Park was
commissioned by the President of Cyprus to paint
the First Lady's portrait. This and five other
paintings by Park are currently displayed in the
collection in the Presidential Palace. A painting
that Park did while in Greece was of Michael
Dukakis' birthplace, and was later purchased by
the former Governor of Massachusetts and
presidential hopeful.

While in Europe, Park continued to study and to
evolve his vision of impressionism and
hyper-realism. He established himself in several
Eurpoean galleries, and continues to exhibit in
many of them today. His works were written about
in a variety of newspapers and magazines,
including the European Travel Press and Euroko, a
Korean magazine in Europe. Park came to the
United States of America in 1994, where he
continues to live on the coast of Southern
California. He has exhibited in several American
galleries and in March 1996 he first exhibited at
the New York Artexpo. In March 1998, Soho
Editions, his exclusive publisher, introduced his
first limited edition works
